Good concept, some good moments so far. Definitely one I am keeping my eye on this season. I like where the plot is going so far. The main character doesn't seem to be the oblivious type yet. We can tell that he will be ridiculously powerful and hopefully it will progress well.

The storyline is promising and the animation seems pretty decent. It has its moments where it seems really good then is suddenly really bad. I guess it evens out.

The main romance interest is absolutely annoying. I might consider muting the volume while she's talking, as it is migraine inducing to hear her scream at the main character constantly. I'm so over the played out "nii-san is such a

The main romance interest is absolutely annoying. I might consider muting the volume while she's talking, as it is migraine inducing to hear her scream at the main character constantly. I'm so over the played out "nii-san is such a baka, omg!" and big chest vs flat chest characters. Absolute Mary-Sue BS. The sibling love thing is getting old, too. I mean come on, is it that hard to come up with new ideas and break the mold for once?

The main character seems a little different from the normal Gary-Stu oblivious guy who suddenly becomes super powerful for no reason, and it seems like they're keeping him on a tighter leash than most so he isn't super saiyan from the first episode.

I have high hopes that the series will improve and not turn into another generic harem anime. I'd liken this to Irregular at Magic High right now, which I stuck with for the long run and really enjoyed... mainly because the main character was so interesting and unique, wasn't super into the sister character. So... let's see how this goes!

Reincarnation and magic are the means to secure the future of the world. At least that's what is going on in this series, along with some ecchi scenes thrown in for spice.

end of season revise. Just barely getting a 4 star.

Reincarnation and magic are the means to secure the future of the world. At least that's what is going on in this series, along with some ecchi scenes thrown in for spice. The series starts with a tease by showing a grand battle, before going back 6 months to the start of things. Some might look at this as a spoiler, but if the story is good then seeing the place where it is headed is only a small thing. Overall it's a decent watch with action and story development, but no indications of getting overly deep. The story and character development aren't as good as I would have liked, and there were obvious gaps distracting from the flow.

Moraha is a student in a magical academy learning to tap the powers he inherited from a past life. He has ties to 2 past lives as compared to most people that only have 1, and initially has very little memory available to him. Although he remembers very little, there are 2 girls introduced right away that are directly tied to his past lives with seemingly opposite approaches to their dealings with him. He is looking to be another overpowered hero type with girls close on his heels as he saves the world, but I won't count that against him. Although he does inherit the powers from 2 past lives, and possess a huge amount of potential, it does take time for him to regain those memories and abilities. Naturally there are monsters that show up, and other powerful figures that don't want any new competition that will send trouble his way. Overall we have a hero that is somewhat overpowered at most stages as he grows through each fight, and a final mega boss where everything is saved by a hairs breadth. It has some good laughs, but the story is a little weak.

This Anime Is One Whoud Recommend To New and Old Anime fans alike the artwork is great as well as the battle seans The Opening is Good All-round the show has great potential to be one of those great anime you cant forget.
I Think This Coud Be Better Than Fate/stay Night (Dont fate/ serise is top line) This has so much potential.Good Start Looking Forward For More

Interesting so far got old of the other animes tried this out and i like it defintely better than akame ga kill so far lol when they pulled a GOT and kill everyone for no reason.
idk people say main heroine is annoying but i mean they are japanese voice overs all japan females sound annoying but who cares just watch the anime dont give it 3 stars cause of a voice lmao.

At the moment, I am seriously enjoying this new show. I watched the first episode a few times, and I am waiting more. Of course the whole instantaneous heroine introductions, which in both cases were random, and not only quick but resulting in the immediate attraction towards the protagonist kind of annoyed me but the back story is interesting, and the kick-off battle in the beginning had an epic

At the moment, I am seriously enjoying this new show. I watched the first episode a few times, and I am waiting more. Of course the whole instantaneous heroine introductions, which in both cases were random, and not only quick but resulting in the immediate attraction towards the protagonist kind of annoyed me but the back story is interesting, and the kick-off battle in the beginning had an epic feel to it. Obviously it is still the first episode so I may or may not end up loving it as much as it goes on, but if you like some cool fights, and a harem-like plot (that probably doesn't sound right but i hope you get what I mean) then I would give this one a shot. Its a hit or miss that's for sure.

This is a fabulous anime for winter 2015! I love the main relationship so far. Satsuki Ranjo is my favorite character. I'm really curious how the relationship with Moroha Haimura will progress as the re-kindle their feelings from their past life (lives?).

The color and animation is superb as is the character designs. It seems the Rank C's have a higher girl to boy ratio and the ladies are

The color and animation is superb as is the character designs. It seems the Rank C's have a higher girl to boy ratio and the ladies are varied both in curves as well as attitudes.

I hope they translate the manga either here on CR Manga or an english publisher!

**WARNING THIS IS LONG**
Honestly, in a season filled with shows like Durararax2, Tokyo Ghoul, and a few other noticeable shows on my pallet, World Break to me was more-so an afterthought than anything else. Just from looking at the name, I had written the show off as nothing but a typical fan-servicey harem with super-powers. Considering the big influx of those kinds of shows and their abundance

**WARNING THIS IS LONG**
Honestly, in a season filled with shows like Durararax2, Tokyo Ghoul, and a few other noticeable shows on my pallet, World Break to me was more-so an afterthought than anything else. Just from looking at the name, I had written the show off as nothing but a typical fan-servicey harem with super-powers. Considering the big influx of those kinds of shows and their abundance in the shows original light novel form, I did not have any intention of watching this show. However, boredom is a hard force to reckon, and I soon found myself watching the first and second episodes of this show. Now, to the shows credit, there isn't a lot of fan service. However that may be because I completely forgot the events of the first episode after only a couple of hours. The simple fact of the matter is that the show completely lacks any sort of depth or anything that makes it memorable. This is going to be my review and reaction to some of the more stupid things in this show, so let's just get started.

The story: Okay, for what it's worth, the premise isn't horrible. A show based on people with the ability to connect to past lives and use specific abilities that are connected with them? Sounds cool enough. For the most part, it was really this synopsis of the story that got me interested. Basically, all of these people with an aptitude to connect to their past lives are rounded up and gathered into schools that basically train them to fight giant monsters named "Metaphysicals". The story itself isn't really the bad thing, it's mainly the way it's addressed. From what I had read of the basic synopsis and character descriptions I was expecting the story to be one of self identity. For the main character to gradually learn more and more about his past lives considering he seems blatantly ignorant of all these things happening even though for some reason apparently most of the other people in his same grade are completely aware of their backgrounds and history, including his "little sister" who we'll touch on later. But for now, the story. Despite the interest I had initially there were too many issues that kept popping up in my mind, and while I will keep an eye out if I continue to watch this show past the 3rd episode (which I most likely won't), I don't expect these to ever be answered. 1. Where did metaphysicals come from? Are they aliens? Have they always been in this universe? Why is almost no time put into explaining the origins of the apparent monster we're supposed to be seeing as the main adversary of the story? 2. Are there any people using their powers outside the use of fighting metaphysicals? I mean, there has to be a grey zone right? Some sort of group of people that are not a part of the system, going to the schools and getting training? I mean, they never explain really how they gauge a persons aptitude, or how they are able to touch on every aspect of the population and get with 100% accuracy everyone with potential to connect to their past lives, so obviously there has to be a few outliers, right? What happens with them? 3. How does the arena technology work? I understand the basic concept of it, that it's some sort of alternate dimension which when you leave returns you to the state that you entered it so if you're injured it won't affect you outside the arena, but how in the hell can you create and effectively use inter-dimensional gates and barriers and yet you cannot defeat the metaphysicals which later on are shown to be easily hack and slashed away with ease by ONE GUY. It seriously baffles me how they can make super advanced references to some cool technology to try and entrance us into just how futuristic this world is, yet it also makes the means of how we're fighting the monsters completely redundant. But since we're on the topic of the people fighting said monsters, lets just hop to characters before I get carried away.

Characters: Basically, every character introduced so far is so one dimensional and generic that it seriously hurts me when I'm watching it. The main problem with the show is how they set up the way that the memories work when working through the character interractions. Throughout the first episode it is made clear that our main character, Moroha, is completely oblivious to what exactly is happening and where he stands in terms of power as well as to his connections of his past lives. However, he does have random flashbacks, which I thought were going to be constant throughout the show. In fact, I thought that all the characters were going to be in a similar situation. All of the oblivious to who they were in their past lives, but they all learn about who they were through constant flashbacks that become more and more in depth the more and more they learn about their abilities. Something cool like that would have made the character likeable as well as much more interesting and fleshed out, as they have to come to terms with not only mastering a power they don't understand, but also learning about a past self they didn't even know about until a few months prior. However, that's not what we get at all. Instead, we get some of the most boring, contrived bullshit character development I've seen in a while. This mainly stems from the fact that Moroha is seriously the only one who we see struggle with the fact that they don't have any initial knowledge about their past lives, so he is forced to struggle with it himself. Everyone apparently is completely aware not only of who they were in a past life, but they also have the ability to remember almost everyone and everything that occurred. This completely ruins any sort of drama in the show. Could you imagine if Satsuki, an annoying little-sister not so much anymore had been attracted to Moroha initially through her lingering attraction that she was unaware was a lasting effect from her previous life where it is implied that she and Moroha were apparently incestuous lovers (which apparently Moroha doesn't feel all that weird about even after getting all his memories back) and both she and Moroha became mutually attracted to each other only to slowly learn that their attraction was also deepened by the fact that they were lovers in a past life possibly strengthening their bond or perhaps creating an emotional rift between them while they try and decide if they should keep their feelings in check considering the current society they live in? Could you imagine the drama that goes down as Moroha and Satsuki have to decide if their relationship should be considered legitimate considering that they were brother and sister in a second life? That might have actually been cool to look at, but no, instead we get Satsuki instantly getting sopping wet once she realizes who Moroha is, and we get a seriously bullshit self recognition scene where ALL OF MOROHA'S MEMORIES are immediately regained, allowing him to beat the shit out of some nobody. Great, we completely slaughtered to potentially interesting character arcs and are now left with this cliche uber powerful mega soldier. Next we get Shizuno who basically is the same overly attached character as Satsuki except she is just kinda bitchy and doesn't seem to really have anything going for her. She obviously is completely aware as well as who Moroha is, yet instead of her explaining who Moroha is and possibly creating some moments where he has flash backs leading up to a possible achieving of both his past lives somewhere down the line, they instead give him both sets of memories, both of which he seems completely unfazed about despite the fact that its two lifetimes worth of information skills, memories, and feelings that he just got slammed into his fucking brain, right off the fucking bat, making all further character development broken down into "how overpowered can we make this character", which, don't get me wrong, I like overpowered character, but I like them to actually have some part of who they are to be mysterious or at least unknown to us so theres something to build on. Making a character overpowered through means that are completely story breaking makes me not really care about whats going on.

Art and Animation: This is a weird one, because from what I've seen, the art and animation is dodgy and inconsistent. While the character designs are fine enough, sometimes the animation becomes almost unwatchable, and sometimes they just go ahead and don't animate anything. There are multiple times while watching this show where the animation will shine one minute, then drop in quality exponentially the next. There was seriously an awesomely animated bossfight in the second episode, that was leading up to a massive blow with very well made animation, that seriously lead to a still frame. That is how you break my immersion and how you make me not so sure if watching for the boss fight is really worth sitting down for half a well animated bossfight, and half a powerpoint presentation.

In conclusion, watch this if you really have nothing else to watch. The story and characters are disjointed, the animations a mess, and really, there isn't anything notably great about this show. Maybe it'll get better, and if it does, I'll be right back here again to sing its praises, but for now, I would not recommend this show.

You could play "pathetic/annoying anime troupe bingo" with this anime starting from the first 2 minutes. This is a sorry excuse for an anime, and that's just the first episode. I couldn't stand to watch anything past that. If you've got your bingo board in front of you as you watch, you'll almost have bingo by about the 15 minute mark, and def will by the end.

Find something more worthwhile to watch. I can't see this redeeming itself.
Not when there's better, or at the very least more entertaining, things to watch like Tokyo Ghoul, Your Lie In April, Death Parade, and even Assassination Classroom.

You could enjoy this....If you are ok with:
Poor start
Poor animation
Boring and flat characters
Bad story
I don't know what else to say...................oh the pacing is god awful which is apparent from the first episode.
